HOLDER FOR MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.

Application filetYAugust 12', 1925.

The present invention relates to a holder for miscellaneous articles,such as mops, brushes, dusters, and the like, and also provides anauxiliary holding device for a match or the like.

An important object of the invention is to provide a holder of thisnature having an adjustable handle consisting of a tubular member havingslidable therein an elongated member provided with notches engageable bya spring pressed element on the tubular member.

Another very important object of the invention is to provide a holder ofthis nature which is simple in its construction, inexpensive tomanufacture, strong, durable, not likely to easily become out of order,readily adjustable and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for whichit is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the novel features ofconstruction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as P willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation of the holder.

Figure 2 is another elevation thereof showing the device at right.angles to that shown in Figure 1, and

Figure 3 is an end view thereof.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that 5 designates anelongated tubular member in which is slidably received the elongatedmember 6 having a series of notches 7 in one side thereof. A sleeve 8 ismounted on one end of the tubular member 5 and supports a bracket 9 onwhich are pivoted two spring actuated aws 11 for engaging a mop, brush,duster, or the like.

A collar.12 is mounted on the other end of the tubular member 5 and hasan extension 13 provided with a terminal eye 14.- A collar 15 is mountedon the tubular memher 5 intermediate its ends and has one end of a tube16 fixed thereto which extends angularly to the tubular member 5 and hasits other end disposed in the eye terminal 14. A holder member 17 isslidably mounted in Serial No. 49,811.

the tube 16 and has a handle 18 projecting through slot 19 provided inthe tube. This holder is adapted to receive a match 20 or like article.A spring actuated catch 22 is pivoted as at 23 to the collar 12, and itsterminal is adapted to engage in one of the slots 7 for holding theelongated member 6 in different adjusted positions in relation to thetubular member 5. If the match 20, for example, is in the holder it maybe light- 50 ed in the usual manner so as to be disposed adjacent a gaset, burner, or the like which is normally out of reach for lighting thesame.

It is thought that the construction, utility, 05 advantages of myinvention will now be clearly understood without a more detaileddescription thereof. It will be apparent that numerous changes in thedetails of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of partsmay be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of theinvention as hereinafter claimed or sacrific ing any of its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. Anarticle of the class described including an elongated shank, a collarmounted at one end of the shank, a collar mounted at the intermediateportion of the shank, a tube fixed to the intermediately located 001-lar, the other collar having an extension terminating in an eye forreceiving the tube, so that said tube is disposed angularly in relationto the shank, and a holder slidable in the tube.

2. An article of the class described including an elongated shank, acollar mounted at one end of the shank, a collar mounted at theintermediate portion of the shank, a tube fixed to the intermediatelylocated collar, the other collar having an extension terminating in aneye for receiving the tube, so that said tube is disposed angularly inrelation to the shank, and a holder slidable in the tube, said tubeprovided with a slot, and said holder provided with a projectionextending through said slot.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
